Cesc Fabregas reveals rant at Harry Redknapp after Arsenal and Portsmouth game in 2007

Cesc Fabregas has revealed that during his Arsenal days he once confronted Harry Redknapp over his tactics and team's style of play.

A goalless draw with Portsmouth in 2007 left the Gunners frustrated, and Fabregas couldn't resist laying into Redknapp in the tunnel after the game.

Speaking on Sky One's A League Of Their Own, the Spaniard discussed the incident: "It was at the end of a game with Portsmouth and it was a nil-nil.

"I was young and you know, stupid, I want to win and I just saw him there in the tunnel at the Emirates and I just said: "Your team plays like s***".

"You just defend horrible football like this. Obviously with the players they had at the time it was all they could do, because we were playing quite well.

"He [Redknapp] just turns round and says, "You are a horrible man"."

The midfielder, however, says the pair get along great now: "After that we have been best friends. Every time I went to apologise to him we hug, we talk, he's an amazing man."
